Ideas for a Shabby Chic Teen Bedroom

If you have a teenage girl in your home, you’re probably familiar with how much she likes to retreat to her bedroom to study, surf her phone, or visit with friends. As much as you would like to be a bigger part of her world, you also want to respect her privacy and give her room to grow. You can rest assured that she can entertain or chill in style by creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Shabby Chic interior design perfectly combines subdued colors, distressed furnishings, and vintage accessories with a soft, romantic touch.

Use Subdued Colors for Softness

A popular palette for Shabby Chic is laden with pastels and neutrals. Colors like yellow, pale pink and blue, creamy whites, peaches, and lavender are all hues that add a soft ambiance. You can use these shades for the walls, bedding, rugs, pillows, and more.

Worn and Distressed Furnishings

Remember that old dresser that’s been sitting in the attic? Don’t donate it to the Goodwill. Repurpose it with a coat of chalk paint and add floral wallpaper to the drawers. The key to Shabby Chic furnishings is to mix it up well. Perfect matching is a sin when it comes to this type of design, so you don’t have to worry about every little detail. Instead, relax and find items that don’t match but still look good together. Don’t miss an opportunity to give those old inherited pieces a new place to live, or save some money and thrift interesting pieces with a bit more character.

Accessorize Vintage Style

Have some fun with your teen by planning a vintage hunting day. Stop at local thrift and occasional stores, flea markets, and garage sales to search for unique antique accessories. Items such as old lamps, clocks, baskets, pillows, wall hangings, and art will help you achieve a funky, Shabby Chic effect and add a layer of history to your design. This can even serve as a moment to give your teenager some freedom to decorate their own room and create a day full of good memories.
